My dear friend wrote me a note to tell me she had tagged me on her blog – I am new to blogging so wasn’t sure just what that meant!
Here is what me friend Knitting Painter Woman – journal_to_a_muse – had to say about herself – the tag was to write five things about yourself!
1. If I’d known then what I know now, I’d have told my mother to stop insisting that she knew more about art that my instructors, and that she “correct” my work. I’d have studied and experimented out in the open and become a real artist.
2. Since a good friend died last December I’ve been thinking a lot about death, dying, and philosophy.
3. I am very proud that I unlearned the parenting style I grew up with and that my grown children are who they are.
4. My yarn stash is probably at the STABLE stage. (STash Acquisition Beyond Life Expectancy)
5. If I won the lottery, I’d hire an architect and have a custom home… not a McMansion, but a cabin in the woods…near the ocean with a studio and woodworking shop for my DH.
AND here are five things about myself:
1. I am married to an otter – really
2. Since I retired I am finding all kinds of ways to express myself creatively and loving it.
3. I promised myself no more yarn purchases until I finish the sweater that has become almost a two year project.
4. I am blessed with wonderful friends, family and a DH who is my mentor and inspiration in all creative endeavors, even if he is an otter.
5. Every spring I say no more major plants and THEN the seed and plant catalogues arrive – it is part of my DNA -what can I say?
And since I don’t have lots of blog friends yet I am tagging beadedforest, cheeseslave and salmonandfern.
